Developing a lightscape application (using a raspberry PI) by Ong, Wenchuan

“…The project aims to develop a web application, which will be hosted within the Raspberry Pi, for controlling the brightness of constant light source from the high power LED via the Raspberry Pi’s General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins and gather optimal settings for projecting images with the Light Blaster. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Trifluoroacetic acid as a molecular probe for the dense phase in liquid-liquid phase-separating peptide systems by Lim, Jessica, Chin, Sze Yuet, Miserez, Ali, Xue, Kai, Pervushin, Konstantin

“…Quantum chemistry modeling of 19F chemical shift differences indicates that the structured complex is formed by the intercalation of one TFA molecule between two stacked Phe aromatic rings, possibly contributing to the stabilization of the condensed dense phase. …”

Linking microstructure and local mechanical properties in SiC-SiC fiber composite using micromechanical testing by Zayachuk, Y, Karamched, P, Deck, C, Hosemann, P, Armstrong, DEJ

“…The matrix has complex hierarchical microstructure with elongated grains, often featuring twinning, growing radially from the fibers in predominantly <111> direction and forming sets of concentric rings around them. The fibers contain equiaxed grains with carbon precipitates at the grain boundaries. …”

Polymeric carbon nitride with internal n-p homojunctions for efficient photocatalytic CO₂ reduction coupled with cyclohexene oxidation by Zhen, Wenlong, Sun, Jiajun, Ning, Xiaofeng, Shi, Xiangyan, Xue, Can

“…The linkage by the benzene rings results in a large π-conjugated structure and controllable electron-localization, allowing for modulating the electronic structure, optical properties, and lipophilicity of the prepared sample (CDT-DCDA-490). …”

Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…In particular, we <em>analytically</em> study the (quasi-)pinning effect which corresponds to a saturation of the GPCs and imposes structural simplifications on the <em>N</em>-fermion state. …”

Somatosensory and clinical profiles of patients with spine-related and clinical framework-based neck–arm pain by Kapitza, C, Ballenberger, N, Luedtke, K, Schmid, AB, Tampin, B

“…Symptom descriptors, such as burning (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), tingling (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.018), pins and needles (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), numbness (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.016), spontaneous pain (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001), and electric pain/shock (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.026) were more common in the radicular/radiculopathy groups compared with the somatic/mechanosensitivity groups. …”

Analysis and mitigation of spatial integration errors for the material point method by Baumgarten, Aaron S., Kamrin, Ken

Narsarsukite Na2TiOSi4O10 as a low voltage silicate anode for rechargeable Li-ion and Na-ion batteries by Chaupatnaik, Anshuman, Srinivasan, Madhavi, Barpanda, Prabeer

“…Fast lithium (de)insertion without any significant capacity loss can be linked to the rigid endless large tunnels built from the stacked rings of four SiO4 tetrahedra. This silicate material was further found to work as a 0.53 V anode for sodium-ion batteries delivering capacity close to 30 mAh·g-1 (at a rate of C/10). …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”

Laser-induced reduced-graphene-oxide micro-optics patterned by femtosecond laser direct writing by Low, Mun Ji, Lee, Hyub, Lim, Joel Chin Huat, Suchand Sandeep, Chandramathi Sukumaran, Murukeshan, Vadakke Matham, Kim, Seung-Woo, Kim, Young-Jin

“…The optical performances of Fresnel zone plates (FZP) fabricated under the three regimes were evaluated and compared; the results were 0.7%, 2.4%, and 3.8% for focusing efficiency, 12.2 µm, 13.2 µm, and 12 µm for focal spot size, 1.39 mm, 1.89 mm, and 1.77 mm for depth-of-focus for FZPs designed to 15 mm focal length with 10 concentric rings. This fabrication technique provides wide design flexibility to various planar LIRGO micro-optics for microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip, skin-attachable biomedical imaging, and micro photonic devices.…”
